He did not take the srohduke's Ufs - .rnuse he had anything agioathim as an' individual, he added, but because h wanted to call the world's attention in th iniufitir of Austrian rule of . its Servian subjects. Among the persons convicted was Prlnzln's own wife. Th number of persons placed on trial was previously erroneously given as 22. Twenty-four was the actual ' number.

The latter however, were said to b powerless to dislodge the Invaders from their secondary lines or to follow up the advantage gained by their partial retirement. - Nevertheless,, muoh disappointment was expressed here, as it was generally hoped Herajevo would be taken before completion of the trial of Gavrlo Prln sip, the Servian student who assassin ated Archduke Francis Ferdinand. WOMEN 1NDIGNANA AT USE OF NAMES BY THE 0REG0NIAN (Contimied from Page One.) had no Authority whatever to, use my name." . " Dr. Mae Card well, another of tbo most prominent women In the city, ex pressed her Indignation over the use of her name.- he said she failed to understand how & newspaper dare do such a thing. Even Mrs,; George Thomas, secretary of the Portland Smlth-for-Governor club, saw her name among the 1000 Portland women who are alleged to be actively supporting the Republican' ticket. She says if the rest or tne women are supporting the Republican ticket in the same way she la, the Re publican candidates will be buried under the greatest landslide on No vember 3 that has been seen in this state in many campaigns. Mrs. Grace Watt Ross was so In dignant over the use of' her name that she called up the Smlth-for-Gpv-ej-nor headquarters the first thing this morning and gav expression to her feelings over the unwarranted pub lication of her name. In the list is the name of Mrs. George- Ainslie, who has been daad for a number of years. Another Is the name of Mrs. Cleveland Rockwell, who has not lived In Portland for several years, Mrs. A. E. Rockey was greatly sur mised at her name being in the list. She said her name waa used without anyone consulting her in regard to her views, and she protested against such methods of campaigning. "I'm certainly not supporting die Republican candidate," said Mrs. H. M. Esterly, whpse name was also In the list. "They had no authorization to use my name." Mrs. Esterly is pa staunch Democrat and says she is heartily supporting Senator Chamberlain, Dr. Smith and A. F. FlegeL Neither was any authorization given for the use of the name of Mrs. Martin L. Pipes, who Is also a Democrat and is supporting the Democratic nominees. Will Demand Retraction. Mrs. Thomas B. Guinean, an invalid, whose name was used without warrant, is very indignant about the matter and declare she shall demand that the Oreeonlan bubllsh retraction. In the list Is the name of Mrs. Laura S. Dunn, who has been dead for sev eral years, and Mrs. H. B. Hoff, who does not live here now. The name of Mrs. Gay Lombard, who has been liv ing In California for some time, was another used to swell the list. Besides these, it Is noticeable that some of the names were in the list two and three times. OFFICIALS AT WHOM THE RECALL IS AIMED EXPRESS CONFIDENCE Albee Regrets That Promoters Should Have Compelled Big Expense many years president of the Baby Home. "I want It known that I am working for Senator Chamberlain. They General Stenger Is Accused of Cruelty German Brigade Commander Ordered Jail Prlsoaera and Wounded Killed, Swear Oerman Prisoners la Franc. "Washington, Pet. 26. The charge that General Stenger, a German brig ade commanded in . France, had dered the killing of the allies' wound ed and all prisoners taken by his men was reiterated by the French em bossy here today. The' original accusation was emphat lcally denied by the German govern ment, by way of the Sayvllle wireless station, but that the order was both given and carried out was reaffirmed in today's statement. . More than 20 German prisoners were declared to have sworn that it waa Is sued August 26, and that, on that date, all the French wounded found by StengerB men were killed. That they believe that they will be sustained by the people at the election tomorrow is shown by the statements Of Mayor H. R Albee ap.d Commission ers Dieck and Brewster, at whom the recall movement Is directed, - while none has made a campaign, each be lieves that bis work has been for the best interests of the city and that the voters will see it in that light and vote accordingly. Mayor Albee lays special stress upon the fact that a few, for personal gain alone, have forced the election at this time, and that they are the ones u rectly responsible for the expenditure of 125,000, the est of the special elec tion. It seems a pity," said the mayof this morning, "that s few individuals, for the sake of personal gain, can pro ceed in such manner as to force the expenditure of $25,000 for a special election, when the sum could have been saved by waiting just one week longer until the general elections. Cause Increased Tax Levy. "By forcing the special election, these men will add one-tenth of one mill to the tax levy for next year. They com pel an expenditure of enough money to have built three new fire engine houses in plaoos where they are urgently needed; all or a large part of the pro posed detention home tor women or any of several municipal features, such as a pubuo market" "Citizens at large," said Commis sioner Brewster, "still believe that the form of government adopted last year and the officers elected to administer it are entitled to a fair trial, and have no sympathy with this election as a means of testing the success or either. "There is an Inclination to treat this election as a Joke, principally on ao count of the character of the candl dates against the present officials. I believe that they have no substantial backing either from the people who are opposed to the present officials or on the part of those who are opposed to the commission form of government. Ho Doubt as to "Result. "It now appears that there will be a reasonably full vote at tomorrow's recall election. If 10,000 votes are castj there Is no doubt In my mind as to the result The only harm can come if the people are Indifferent. The city officials were well known when they were elected 18 months ago and they have not changed since." "I have until now," said Commis sioner Dieck. "abstained from any activity in the recall campaign since I have always devoted my best ef forts in the interest of the people of Portland and had no definite charges to meet. Therefore, not I, but the Justice of the people of Port land is on trial, and I am confident that the submission of the truth to the people, through the newspapers, can have but one result. "Although it may seem, at first thnMo-ht. that CATtaln exTjendltures TTiitht havs been dispensed with, 1 have not hesitated to assume full responsibility for them, confident that they would, in the end. be more than Justified by the lasting results se cured." Lane's Speaking Dates" Announced Senator Win Wage Active Campaign la Behalf of Cluymberlain, riegel and Others From How On. Speaking dates for Senator Harry Lane, who will wage an active cam paign until election in support of his colleague. Senator Chamberlain, and A. F. Flegel, candidate for congress, and others on the Democratio ticket, have been arranged as follows: Tonight, at Sunnyslde school bouse; Tuesday night, at Lincoln High, school; Wednesday night, either Salem or The Dalles; Thursday night, Jefferson High school; Saturday night, Corval 11s; Monday night of next week, Wash ington High school. Russians Advance I Against Germans Germans Said to Be Using Austrian s to Cover Their Own Betreats "Evacu ate "Cods and Bokatcboff . Petrograd, Oct 28. The checking of the German advance in Russian Poland and of the Austro-Gerrrfan forward movement in Gallcla were announced today by the war office here. In Galicia Is was said the Germans were using the Austrian forces to cover their own retreat The Russian right and center was said to be advancing, while their left was reported taking new positions on the west bank of the River San. German Retreat Rapid. London, Oct 26. The Germans in Russian Poland were declared in Petro grad dispatches today to be continuing their retreat to the westward with all possible speed. It was said they were evacuating Lods, and that they had been dislodged from Sokatchoff after a hard fight in which they lost heavily. Did Not Advise Removal of Names Answering a query from Attorney General Crawford, District Attorney Evans this morning informed Mr. Crawford that he had not advised county Clerk Coffey to strike the names of any candidates for judge from the ballots in the coming elec tion on the ground that the six year term amendment did away with need of relection in some instances. He said that such advice could not prop erly be given and that any Questions as to the terms of any judges should, in his judgment, be settled at a proper time after election. Mr. Evans called attention to Jus tice II. J. Bean's election to the su preme court in 1910 under the statute which created the additional judgship to which he was elected and that the statute provided for buT a four year term. He said that a question could be raised in this instance as to wheth er the amendment providing six year terms for judges passed in 1910 would supersede the statute making the term of Judge Bean, who was elected the same year, but four years. Judge . McBride, he said, was ap pointed in 1909 to fill a vacancy caused by Judge R. S. Bean quitting to be come a United States Judge and held until 1910 under the appointment Un der the statutes, Mr. Evans said, Judga McBride's term under the appointment ran only until a general election, in 1910 Judge McBride was reelected, ha said, to fill out the unexpired por tion of Judge Bean's term or until January, 1913.

THE TRUTH Formerly nine men, getting $16,800.00 Now nine men, getting $20,820.00 as follows: City Engineer , . $ 4,300.00 Three assistant Miprlneers at $2400 7,200.00 One assistant engineer 2,100.00 Two assistant engineers at $1920 8,840.00 i Two municipal engineers at $1740 8,480.00 ' ' " ' 1 $20,820.00 "RECORD OFFICE" PARRISH CLAIMS' Formerly one, now four. This due to a more complicated system, involving more red tape." THE TRUTH IS Formerly three, scattered about; now four in one office. Increase, one man, transferred from another office in the department. St. FURTHERMORE The great mass of resolutions, ordinances, etc., governing public work, formerly prepared by theCity Auditor, are now prepared by the department, without more help. ACTUAL RECORDS show that correspondence now handled is at least threetimes that handled by office of former City Engineer. "MAIN OFFICE" PARRISH CLAIMS "Formerly three, now seven." THE TRUTH IS -Formerly . six, floating around; now six in one office. RESULT Less waste, more work, better work. j J "DRAFTING OFFICE" PARRISH CLAIMS "Formerly five, now eleven, making necessary maps' and charts. The charts show supposed advantages of com mission form of government and are for political purposes. FALSEHOOD The last statement is an unqualified falsehood. The Charts mentioned are financial statements required by the charter to show the taxpayers the whereabouts of their money.. NO IfOUTICS has ever entered my office. THE TRUTH IS Formerly there were nine or more draughtsmen floating around. Now there are nine in one office, RESULT More work, less cost, better construction designs. I 'TRAFFIC AND OTHER QUESTIONABLE SURVEYS" PARRISH CLAIMS "Not necessary and not consistent will a pol icy to keep down taxes." This statement is ridiculous.

Just Across the Morrison Street, Bridge at East Third Street INTERESTING INFORMATION On or about October 1, 1913, this department required Dr. Parrish to remove a building owned by. him, which had been occupying public property on East Thompson street since March, 1911. At that time Dr. Parrish personally expressed his gratification at the just and courteous treatment given him by this office. PARRISH LIES in saying: "Op five occasions I called at his office -, on public business and was unsuccessful in getting into his office." ----- Dr. Parrish personally expressed his good will toward me, and satisfaction with the work of the department, if the recall candidates' luncheon of the Oregon Civic League, on October 10, 1914. , If COMPARISON UNJUST The entire basis of comparon by Dr. Parrish is a fallacy, for the Department of Public flrks is now a real business organization, evading no responsibilities. Under - my administration it will continue to do more and getter worK . for less money. - v ,:if In conclusion, I wish to add that ray of f ice rooms have always , been conducted strictly fpr the transaction public business, and not with an open door for handshaking or politics.
